Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.3
Severity: wishlist
Some packages used to start debian/rules with things like:
CFLAGS=-Wall -Werror=format-security
However recent dpkg updates[1] not only make these pratices useless, but it
also removes usefull flags such as -fstack-protector in that example.
Lintian should warns about such flags overrides.

Hi,
I am tagging this bug wontfix and at the time closing it to reduce the
number of open bugs.
If you have any additional information or arguments, do not hesitate
write back and we can re-evaluate the wontfix tag + reopen the bug.
